Additionally, 12.11 MW of rooftop solar capacity has been commissioned across its subsidiaries.

In July 2025, CIL invited bids for an 875 MW solar project at RVUNL’s 2,000 MW solar park in Pugal, Rajasthan. Earlier in May, the company also invited expressions of interest from potential buyers to procure power from its 4.5 GW renewable pipeline at a fixed tariff, with delivery through the ISTS network.

Through these initiatives, Coal India is significantly ramping up its contribution to India’s renewable energy goals while reducing its dependence on conventional fossil fuel-based power.
